D:r. Rai+trke also commended the 12 :nurses who attended a course in London on the use of the fetal monitor in the obstetrics depart- ment. The equipment is used to monitor the unborn infant's heatbeat during labor and delivery, and will warn the staff of impending danger to the child. Elmer Taylor, administrator for the hospital, said the nurses had donated "their time for the seminar, but the hospital had picked up the expenses for the day. Call tenders The architect for the new phsyciatric unit at Alexandra Marine and General Hospital feels the project will be ready for tender by May 15. Chairman of the building com- mittee, -Bruce Potter, said the ad- dition will be more expensive that originally thought, due .to.. some changes required by the_ Ontario Ministry of Health. , Total construction cost including' furnishings is now estimated at $1,081,400, about $80,000 more than initially expected. One of the extra requirements by the Ministry is a sprinkler in the basement of the 1967 wing and the addition of temperature sensitive fire detectors in 40 patient rooms and corridors in the existing hospital. The board on Monday evening also approveda$700 expenditure for a study of the incoming power feeder line from the Goderich Public Utilities Commission. Potter explained that insufficient power may be coming . into the hospital to carry the load that will be required of it when the hospital is running at full capacity. Board Member Bob Dempsey said an alternate feeder line should probably be considered in the future. He explained that if the lines are shut down in one area of town for some reason, uninterrupted power could reach the hospital by a second route. Potter said the power will have to be off atthe hospital for from three to four hours while the check is made. The hospital will • simply switch to '.emergency auxiliary power for that period, and service 'will continue as usual. • Medical records, COMMUNITY NEWS New chairs The six new bard chairs and the new table ,for the board room at Alexandra Marine and General Hospital were in use Monday evening for the first time. The full board 'was not in at- tendance, as usual, but the spaces were filled to overflowing as board members crowded together to make room for latecomers. Incidentally the board is ex- pecting some changes in mem- bership as the annual meeting ap- proaches in June. Anyone in the community who is interested in serving on the hospital board should contact Elmer Taylor, hospital adm inistrat r, at his office. "We would really 1 ke to hear from people who are interested in the work at the hospital," said Taylor this week. - Hospital Day Canada Hospital Day is May 12 and Alexandra Marine and General Hospital is planning a display of equipment .at Suncoast Mall on that day. Among the items to be shown to the public will be the hospital's new orange and white ambulance. 'It's the latest thing in medical con- veyances and should be of wide interest to the community, the board feels. Some discussion was heard about the possi•biliity of a tour, of the hospital's facilities, but this was sidelined because of the anticipated difficulty in getting the public tq 'attend.

A cardiologist from the Ministry was at the hospital recently to review the present ICU and to consider future intensive- care needs at AM&,G. Dr. "bJ.L.Hollingworth, president of the medical staff at AM&G, said the Ministry of- ficial "looked upon our proposals in a positive manner and intended to report his feelings to the Ministry of Health". Dr. James Rourke, who met with the Ministry representative, said the consultant in intensive and coronary care units agreed that AM&G does need ICU capabilities and that present facilities could do with physical plant and equipment improvements,. Dr. Rourke said the consultant's suggestion was' for the doctors, nurses, administration and board at AM&G to sit down and decide what would make the best quality of eare for- Goderich and area jn ICU, and then approach the Ministry with some specific requests for changes and improvements. Home. care program likely in Huron in 1981 RY.SHARON .DIETZ....... Huron County 'will„have a chronic home care program within the next year according to the county's Medical Officer of Health, Doctor Brian Lynch. The Minister of Health has announced that chronic home care will be established in all areas of the province by 1981. Lynch said Friday, he has no firm date when the program will be established, but he has met with ministry representatives to duscuss setting up the program.

The health unit has an acute home care program in service now which provides care for patients who do not require full hospital care but do require some aspect of care such as nursing, physio -therapy, occupational therapy or speech therapy. Acute home care is designed for illness where recovery is expected within one to three months. Chronic home care is for illness where recovery is unlikely. "It now remains for the hospital to submit plans, far the best location and necessary modern equipment for this new department,” added Dr. Michael Conlon, chief of staff.

Industries may utilize power station heat "Ontario industries may soon be utilizing heat from nuclear power stations which will 'be sub- stantially cheaper and more inflation -proof than hat from oil or gas," Malcolm Rowan, President of the Ontario Energy Corporation has announced. The Ontario Energy Corporation has agreed to help finance and manage a $65,000 survey of in- dustries which might be located in a. proposed in- dustrial park near the Bruce Nuclear Power Development. The survey has been commissioned by the Bruce County Council. Mr. Rowan says the O.E,C.'s involvement is in keeping with the Ontario Government's March 11, 1980 Speech from the Throne which stated that the Government would ensure the "full development of ONE STOP FOR ALL YOUR HOME IMPROVEMEI1TI NEEDS �,�u� t,�u.J..•..!'. it%, .1 r .:•Yr up..
